Eigenvector ranking method as a measuring tool: Formulas for errors

European Journal of Operational Research, 2015, vol. 240, issue 3, 774-780

Abstract: The eigenvector method (EM) is well-known to derive information from pairwise comparison matrices in decision making processes. However, this method is logically incomplete since its actual numerical error is unknown and its reliability is doubted by such phenomena as “right–left asymmetry”, “rank reversal”, and reversal of “order of intensity of preference”.
